RED CLOVER 
One of the greatest sources of farm 
satisfaction is the production of good 
clean heavy stands of clover. One of 
this year’s problems is to secure the 
seed with which to start clover crops. 
seems certain that the country’s supply 
is quite short of requirements. There is 
some Hoffman seed for quick buyers. 
So long as supplies can be kept in 
stock, you can depend on its quality 
being right. Hoffman clover seed an- 
swers a very definite ‘‘yes’ to these 
questions: Is it seed from desirable 
sources? Will it grow—has it been 
tested? Has it been cleaned right—and 
free from noxious weeds? 
Many folks, in the severe seed 
shortage of last year, wisely chose to 
sow less seed per acre than in normal 
times. The practice is sound. Extra good 
insurance on the success of clover 
stands is the careful watching of lime 
content in the soil where seeding is to 
take place. Ample liming . . . careful 
fertilizing ... manuring, help making up 
any lowered sowing rate. Depend on 
Hoffman Clover seed—it will pay you. 
MAMMOTH (SAPLING) 
This is the taller-growing clover. Called 
by either of above names. Makes 
heavier stems. Grows tall. Does better 
15 

on poorer soils than will red clover. 
Ripens maybe ten days later, but does 
produce a plenteous supply of hay on 
its one crop. Mammoth clover plants 
live, on the average, for three years as 
against red’s two. Good root system. 
Fine soil improver. Good for hay when 
sown with timothy—as both bloom at 
about same time. Supply way short. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
No space need be taken for details 
about the merits of this popular clover. 
Everybody knows its value. Just too 
bad that Mother Nature did not produce 
a bigger crop of alsike seed this year. 
It is again very short. It is suggested 
that normal seeding rate be cut down. 
Where you would decide to sow three 
pounds less of alsike—put in, say, a half- 
pound of Ladino—results will surprise. 
... During such a severe shortage there 
may be here, at times, alsike or red 
clover containing other crop seeds, such 
as timothy, white dutch clover or sweet. 
In all cases, Hoffman seed will be free 
from foul weeds . . . of sound growth 
... and adapted to your area. 
INOCULATE CLOVER SEED 
Very definitely .. . you'll get better stands 
. - » improve the soil . . . make out better 
with less seed per acre.
